The Fountains and Gardens of King Lud
wigs Bavarian Versailles.

The Fountains and Gardens Of King Lud.
wigs Bavarian Versailles.
The palace, which was intended to be
on exact imitation of Versailles, stands
on highland near one end of an
island, looking toward Prien. AS the
land was low in front it was necessary
to fill it in with soil to the height desired
for the parterres and terraces. The
trees were all cut away to the shore of
the lake, giving a vista through the
mainland, and the hill s in the distance
on that side are visible. This was in
tended as the royal approach to the
palace. Whatever the visitor may have
heard in regard to its extent or mag
niticence, he is not likely to be dis
appointed. The palace consists of
o facade, to which access is gained
by a series of immense steps. Back
of the facade extend two large, long ellis
inclosing marble court. At the right
and left are wings, only one of which
is finished, the other remaining an
architectural skeleton. The facade and
two wings present front not far from
quarter of mile in length. In front
are the terraces, with immense foun-
tains and brilliant flower beds, falling
gradually down to the general level Of
the island. 1t was the idea of King
Louis during the latter part of his life
to cover every thing with gold. This
plan has been but partially carried
out as regards the fountains, but they
present in their unfinished state a
splendid area of gilded surface. TIL
two principal, which occupy the right
and left of the first terrace, are large
marble basins. That at the right il
occupied by an immense pile of natural
rocks surmounted at the height of thir.
ty feet by colossal figure OF
genius mounted on q Pegasus.
At the base, Clio, mounted ON q
sphinx, proclaims the defeat Of the
monsters, against which a battle had
been waged. The south Baseno repre-
sents Fortune seated on throne sur
rounded by cherubs. Further off In
angles of the terrace are two fountains
copied from Versailles, that of Soana
and of the Dawn. Beyond the terrace
and its immediate belongings there is
little to recall the park of Versailles.
Time was wanting to develop the Kings
plans, therefore beyond these fine foun-
tains, these masses of marbles and the
handsome statues that decorate the es-
planade in front of the palace one hardly
cares to look. To the lower terrace one
descends by a series of twenty-five steps
nearly three hundred feet in length.
Here are other fountains Of marble,
adorned with classical groups and gro
tesque figures. The gardens, alleys,
walls and rustic paths beyond are
barely sketched. d.-Munich Cor. Son

NICHOLAS ALLEN.
Unfortunate Career of the DiscOverer of
Anthracite Coal in Pennsylvania.

Anthracite Coal In Pennsylvanin.
Anthracite was discovered in Penn
sylvania in 1890, by Nicholas Allen.
This Allen, according to the stories and
traditions that have been handed down
about him must have been kind of
American Rip Van Wrinkle. He had
come down from the Lake Champlain
lumber region and opened an inn on the
summit of the Broad Mountain. For u
time he led a wandering existence, hunt
ing, fishing and numbering, while his
wife attended to the wants of thirsty
travellers. In one of his hunting excur-
sions he camped out at the foot OF the
Broad Mountain, ut spot where coal
vein cropped out, and, upon lighting a
fire, was astonished at the intense heat
it threw off. He also saw that
some of the black stone had be-
come red hot. He dug some Of it,
and carried it home, where his wife,
more practical than himself, pronounced
it coal. They saw the coal crop in
abundance, and visions of fortunes that
might be realized out of it flashed
through their minds simultaneously.
So, disposing of their effects, they loaded
two large covered wagons with the coal.
and set our for Philadelphia, with the
intention of marketing it there and dis
covering its true value. They drove
along the banks of the Schuylkill, sleep
ing in the open air at night. At Potts.
town three of their horses died, and the
coal was dumped into the river. Wearied
and disheartened, the pair returned to
the old place at the summit of the noun
tain, and shortly afteward Allen laid his
faithful wife to rest over the coal vein
that proved their ruin, and turned his
face toward the West, where, after an
uneventful career, he enlisted for the
campaign under Harrison. and fell at
Tippecanoe.-Scientifc american.

Cooking Food for Cattle.

Prof. Wallace has been urging the
use of cooked food for cattle. He
quotes tho experience of feeder in the
eastern countries who adopted the
system Of soaking the fodder with hot
water. The dry fodder, which may be
wheat, barley or oat straw, is chafed
and laid out in heap ON good level
floor, and the concentrated food mixed
with it. Hot water is then thrown over
the pile uutil the water begins to ooze
out at the base. The gentleman referred
to who used wheat and barley straw,
fed 108 fat bullocks and SO young cattle
for about fifteen weeks on an average
The labor was not much increased, and
the boiling Of the necessary water took
only about p hundred weight of coal
per week. His report is that he never
had animals do 30 uniformly WE'LL

a POPULAR PHRASE.
How the Saying 'srhsre's . Nisger in ths

How the Saying 'srhsre's Ni6ger in The
Fence" Organised.
Away back in the forties, certain
Judge Jeremiah Lane, Of --- County,
Mississippi, was the owner Of a running
mare, which, II was said, could beat any
thing in the shape of racing horse-fesh
in the South. The Judge was always
ready for match ut any odds, and
never failed to win money whenever he
was fortu nate enough to ''rope in" any
one. On one occasion, at a racing meet
ing in his section, the sports put their
heads together and resolved to play 1t
on the Judge, ifpossible. Accordingly,
a darky was told to conceal himself in
the fence at the lower end of the half
mile track on which the racing was to
take place, and which ran close to the
course. A match for $3.50 side, best
two in three, was arranged with three
starters, including the mare owned by
the Judge, who was laughing in his
sleeve over the ''soft snap" that had
been thrown up to him. The parties
who were in the conspiracy to "beat"
the judicial sport instructed the darky
to raise up suddenly from his place Of
concealment in the fence and wave his
hat at the Judges horse, who was a
scary brute, and who got "all broke
up" when excited. She was to have
the poll, and as she was expected to
take the lead, the ruse would have no
serious effect upon any of the run
ners but her. Time was at last called,
the horses were started aud off they
sped like the wind, the marc shooting
right ahead Of her opponents, until,
when reaching the second quarter-pole,
she stood likely chance of distancing
| both the other horses in the race. Sud-
denly she SHE'D to one side, nearly un-
seating her black rider, who, at the
time, was looking over his shoulder, in
jockey fashion, watching the motions Of
his rivals She followed this movement
with two or three plunges forward,
then reared with her hind feet three or
four times, and ended up by backing
about eight or ten rods at rapid pace,
despite the utmost efforts on the part OF
the driver to cool her off and get her
down to work again. While this W as
going on, the other horses in the race
came forging down the track and passed
the Judges mare, reaching the other
side of the wire before the latter was
brought under control. The next heat
the mare acquitted her self in the same
manner, barely escaping being dis.
tanced. This time, however, the driver
had his "eyes open." and when the
darky raised up from his place of con-
cealment in the fence, the former
caught sight of him, and riding back to
the judges stand as soon rs he could
get the animal cooled down. he excit.
edly cried out: Gentlemen, dar's 9
nigger in de fence! dar's nigger in de
fence!' The saying, There's niger
in the fence" was caught up at once
and became synonymous in that section
for any thing that smacked of fraud con-
cealed under the guise of plausibility OF
of iobbery planned to beat innocent
parties. In this sense it soon spread to
other parts and was not long in becom-
ing popular all over the country.-St.

In common with clay, calcareous
earth possesses the power of making
sandy soils more close and firm, and, in
common with sand, the power of making
clay soils lighter, or more open and
mellow. When sand and clay thus alter
the texture of soils, their operation is
altogether mechanical; but calcareous
earth must exert chemical action in
producing such effects, as its power is
far greater than that of either sand or
clay.-M Y Herald.

Some Of tho Principal Points Giving Evi.
dence of Good Qualities.
Purity of blood is invaluable, espe-
cially in the male sheep, as he is chiefly
to be relied on when crossing or inn
proving the breed is desired. The En-
glish downs are considered the best for
producing first-class mutton, while the
merinoes are remembered for producing
the finest wool. The principal points
sought for in seeep are those that give
evidence of their fattening properties; a
straight back, broad loins, roundness
of body are valuable points. A good
formed animal is one with plenty of
flesh, evenly put on, and as little bone
as possible. The following gives re-
quirements for mutton sheep: Head
moderately fine; nostrils wide; eyes
prominent; ears broad, moderately long,
thin and covered with short hair; collar
full from breast and shoulders, taper
ing gradually all the way to where the
back and head join; neck short, thick
and strong and free from coarse and
loose skin; shoulders broad and full,
and at the same time join SO gradually
to the collar forward and the chine
backward as not to leave the least hollow
in either place; fore legs, the mutton on
the arm or fore-thigh should come quite
to the knee; leg with heavy bone and
upright, clear from superauous skin,
should stand out square and we'll apart;
breast, broad and well forward, keep
ing the legs wide apart; girth or chest,
full and deep; fore flank quite full, not
showing hollow behind shoulder; back
and loin, broad, fat and straight, from
which the ribs must spring with q fine
circular arch. Belly, straight on under
line; quarters, long and full. with NUT
ton quite down to the hook; hook should
stand neither in nor out, but straight;
twist or junction inside the thighs, deep,
wide and full, wite broad breast, will
keep the legs open and upright; the
whole body should be covered with wool,
of q close texture. of good length and
fine quality.-PrQctical Farmer.

An insect Tramp.

A supposed house-ay parasite (RNpo-
psls n,uscaruu) has been found by a
French naturalist, P. Megnin, to be in
reality no parasite, preying upon tho
fy's body, but simply the common
cheese-mite (7yroglyphus scio) availing
itself of the first means of transportation
to new sources Of food supply. The
creature, with a remarkable power Of
adaptation TO environment, becomes
greatly changed on attaching itself to
the fly or other animal but assumes its
original form and multiplies rapidly.
on reaching suitable feeding-grounds.
This discovery explains how fresh cheese
can become infected with mites, even
when carefully placed on shelf away
from all suspected sources Of contamin-
ation.-Arkansav Traveller.
